(Testimony of Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker)

Mr. Liebeler.
Do you have any indication that they did ?
General WALKER. I certainly do.
Mr. Liebeler.
Would you tell us what that is?
General WALKER. The indications seem to be not only mine, but all over the

country that Rubenstein and Oswald had some association.
Mr. Liebeler.
Can you indicate to us what it was?
General WALKER. Well, I are wondering about one thing, how Rubenstein
can take his car in to be fixed and Oswald can sign the ticket and pick up the car. Mr. LIEBELER. Now can you tell us when and where that happened?
General WALKER. I haven't been able to verify that it happened for sure,
but I have been told that it happened. Mr. LIEBELER. Who told you that ?
General WALKER. My information came from a repairman, from another fellow to a friend of mine, to me.
Mr. Liebeler.
Could you give us the name of the person ?
General WALKER. I don't think it is necessary. I think you have all the information, because the information also includes the fact that the records were picked up in the repair shop.
Mr. Liebeler.
Whether we have the information or not, I am asking you if you know the name of that repairman who said that Oswald said he picked up his car?
General WALKER. No; I don't.
Mr. Liebeler.
Do. you know the name of the garage?
General WALKER. No; I don't. As I remember, it was a hotel garage.
Mr. Liebeler.
Can you give us the name of the people that brought the information to you, so it can be traced back to this source? Who the garage-man is, apparently as you say, that it came from a garageman somewhere.
General WALKER. No; I think your sources are better than mine on this.
Mr. Liebeler.
That is not my question. My question is, do you know their names?
General WALKER. Yes; I do, but I am not telling.
Mr. Liebeler.
So you are not going to tell us the names of these people?
General WALKER. Hold up. Off the record. (Discussion off the record.)
General WALKER. We are all working in the best interests of this thing. I don't see where my sources of information have to be revealed. You know whether the information is any good or not, and I don't see any reason to get any more people involved than are already involved in it. The information is either correct or incorrect, and can be substantiated by your Commission, or it is not.

This that I am telling you is the information I have got. Now, if you all find out that it is absolutely necessary to your information, but revelation of the names of the people isn't necessary to your information with regard to the assassination. I think we have covered the assassination, and--as helpful as I can be don't think I wouldn't be delighted to see exactly all the truth that can probably come out of it, come out of it.
Mr. Liebeler.
All we are asking you to do is give us whatever information you have that can help us in this investigation.
General WALKER. That I think we have covered, haven't we?
Mr. Liebeler.
I don't know whether we have or not.
General WALKER. If you find out you need the further information that will really help the assassination story--we will leave it like this--I will do the best I can to cooperate on it, but I don't think it is necessary to reveal all the sources of my information,, and the story which you all should have the basic facts. The basic facts are the records on the story and you either know whether or not they are true or not. I haven't done all this investigation.
Mr. Liebeler.
Well, I am not able to make a determination as to whether or not the information that you have would be helpful to the Commission's work because I don't know what information you have.
General WALKER. Let's leave that, because if it is in the best interest of finding anything, that there is a hole in their findings, why we will reveal it.
Mr. Liebeler.
I am going to let the question stand. I do ask you to tell me
